It's not really a "normal" query, in the sense that it's not coming from a stub
resolver, typically, and the initiator wouldn't normally assume that recursion
is required to fetch the answer.
So, in the typical case I'd expect RD=0.
Not sure that the "although" verbiage below really adds any value, though. If
you've already declared that something is a "MAY", what's the practical effect
of then saying that its meaning is "undefined"? Either it's allowable per the
standard or it's not.

Section 3 says
The RD bit MAY be set to 0 or 1, although the meaning of it being set to 1 is
undefined for priming queries.
But a priming query is just a normal DNS query, so RD would be defined
normally, no?
